Welcome to the Suffolk County Red Cross.

Hurricane Season Begins June 1st... Are You Ready?
There's no guarantee that this hurricane season will be as quiet for the United States as the past two seasons and America needs to be ready. Fewer than expected U.S. landfalls over the past two years may have lulled some people into a false sense of security but we do know that being prepared can save lives and property during a disaster. The American Red Cross urges everyone to dust off their disaster supplies kit and get better prepared now for a variety of disasters such as hurricanes and the high winds, flooding and tornadoes that may accompany them.

"By taking three basic preparedness actions you can get "Red Cross Ready" for disasters and other emergencies 1) Get a kit, 2) Make a plan and 3) Be informed," said Diane Amarosa, Executive Director of the Suffolk County American Red Cross. "The Red Cross is also here to help you get prepared for specific disasters like hurricanes. Even if you took action to prepare last hurricane season, it's important that you revisit and update your communication plan and check your disaster supplies kit for expired items."
